RUSSIA'S TREATY WITH ENGLAND.

Our genial contemporary, "The World
has wreakcd its vengeance upon the State
Department in singular way. 1t has pub
lshed the spurious text OF an cxtradition
treaty. which it gravely announces was signed
on Friday. If Secretary Bayard had given his
sanction to so astonishing convention, he
would have been in urgent need of political
defenders. No treaty has yet been signed
between the United States and Russia and
we trust that none ever will be ratified in
volving so many and such radical departures
from the time honOred principles of the Amcri-
can ExtraditiOn Code As this spurious text
disclosed Russia however, is evidently in the
humor for negotiations Of this kind, whereby
political offenders taking refuge in foreign
countries may 10 hunted down and doomed
to military executions.
A new cxtradition treaty, for example, has been
concluded between Great Britain and Russia.
The number of offences for which fugitive Grim
inals may be surrendered is unusually large. In
the Treaty of 1912, by which extraditon practice
between Great Britain and the United Sacs
is regulated, only five crimes are designated,
namely: Murder, assault with intent to CON-
nit murder. arson. robbery. and forgery. To
this list only four offences were added in tho
Roscbery-Phelps Convention negotiated last
year: Manslaughter, burglary, enlightenment
and malicious injuries to property whereby
life is endangered. All these offences arc in
cluded in the British Russian treaty, and as
many as eighteen additional crimes. Among
these are counterfeitng obtaining money or
goods by false prctcnccs, perjury. rape, abor-
ton. abduction, cbld-stealing. blaclsfnai and
piracy. The general charge Of ENLIGHTENMENT
Ia expanded so as TO comprise fraud by a
bailcc banker, agent, factor, trustee, director,
member or public officer of any company. and
also crimes against bankruptcy law. Dynamite
crime, for which o comprehensive definition

was given in the English American treaty OF
last year, is dealt with moro specifically In the
new convention, as "malicious injury to prop
crty il the offence be indictable." 'malciously
wounding or inflicting grievous bodily harm."
and sinking or destroying vessel at sea- or
attempting or conspiring to do So" Conspiracy
TO murder is also made an extraditable offence.
Russia has been almost the last country in
Europe to enter the international league for
the suppression of crime. The long list OF Of
fences included in this category OF extIadit-
able crimes shows that the last convert is bent
upon making an exhaustive trial Of the system
The twenty seven csisnatcd offences are sup
pemcntcd by general agreement that extradl-
ton may be granted at the discretion Of the
State applied TO in respect OF any other crime
for which according to the laws Of both cOun-
tries the grant can be made. In view of the
facility with which so complete list OF crimes
has been agreed upon between London and St.
Petersburg, it Is not easy to understand why
the American and English governments have
Lecn negotiating for ten years for an extension
OF tho Treaty of 1912 without practical result
With the four offences named by Lord Rose
berry and Mr. Phelps added to the old list. there
would be only nine extraditable crimes in the
amended Convention The American Minister.
in transmitting the text to the State De-
partment. frankly expressed the opinion that it
would not be practicable TO recast or expand
the list. Russia has not scrupled to adopt a
schedule three times as long containing nu-
merous minor offences, concerning which there
have been volumes Of futile correspondence
between Washington and London during the
.ast decade.
There is one clause however, that makes it
safe for Russia to accept so rigid code OF
cxtradtion. Fugitive criminals are not to be
surrendered unless the offences for which their
return is asked are punishable by the laws OF
both countries For many Of the crimes named
in the schedule there is no law in the Northern
Empire and extradition for them will be mat
ter Of comfy rather than Of treaty stipulation.
Russia gains for her part a distinct promise
from England that conspratOrs shall be sur
rendered. If the students who have been plot
ting against the Gar could be identified in Lon
don their surrender might be demanded under
tho head of conspiracy to murder The
charge is too general in its nature to be in
cludcd in such international compacts, and can
be easily made convenient basis for the prose-
cution Of political offenders.

THE MAYOR AND SUNDAY DRINKING.

IHE ND IOh AND SUNDdI OhiNAlNU.
Mayor Hewitt claims that his bill to legalze
Sunday drinking is temperance measure He
argues that inasmuch as the present Sunday
liquor law is not enforced. it should be regarded
rs failure. He appears TO put implicit faith
in the assertion of the police that they cannot
enforce the law, though his own attempts to
close the worst dives have shown him how
wilfully blind the police can be to breaches OF
the law committed daily and nightly under their
eyes. He holds that since the present law is
not observed 1t would be better to license
specially a moderate number Of places for the
sale of beer and light wines, and thus secure
tho means Of closing the other saloons effect
ually on Sunday. Tho Mayor does not seem
to perceive that there is no better reason for
expecting the police to do their duty under his
law than OF present. The assumption that grant
ing special licenses to part of the saloons would
facilitate the closing of the rest has no warrant
in experience. In tho case suggested precisely
the same influences would be at work which
now invalidate the law; that is to say, the
power Of the saloon in politics would count for
exactly as much as under the existing statute.
Tho plain truth is that there is fatal de-
feet both in Mr.. Hcwitts line of reasoning and
in the character OF the remedy no proposes
The fatal defect in his reasoning consists i'm the
assumption that the police representation OF
the facts is trustworthy, and that it is the final
word on the situation. The police say they
cannot enforce the law. The obvious reply to
this is that they have never made serious
effort to do So The revelations just made re-
garding tho disrepulable places kept open in
defiance of the law sufficiently dispose of the
prctcxt that the law cannot be enforced. MIR.
Hewitt we believe to be equally wrong in his
remedy. TO grant special licenses for the sale
Of beer and wines to certain places Of enter
tainmcnt would not tend in any way to the
closing Of the other saloons. On the contrary,
being an enlargement Of the present license. it
would make them still bolder, and tho police
would probably relax their supervision over
the Others still morc-if that be possiblc-than
at present. In short. we see no cure for any
existing evil in the Mayors proposal. but hold
that all its implications are dangerous and bad.
II it is necessary that people should have beer
and wine on Sunday there is but one way to
meet the demand without opening the doors 10
dcbauchcry. and that is by restricting sales to
beer and wine to he drunk at the homes Of the
purchasers or at all events of the promises of
the saloon keeper. IL is precisely Sunday drink
ing in the saloons that docs most harm. and
that Mayor Hcwitt's plan would extend and

Oh! such wonderful, wonderful pockets
AS grandpa's never were known;
They're as lean as can be in the morning,
But at nightfall so plump they have grown
That they're ready to burst, for packed in then
Is many game and toy,
With candies and cakes for the girlics
And lots OF the same for the boy.
And oranges, apples and cherries,
Bananas, and peaches and berries,
Balls, marbles, and beautiful dollies
Mimic kittens, and monkeys, and politics.
Yes, and even torpedoes and rockets
Have been found in these wonderful pockets,
Grandpa's pockets.
OH such wonderful, wonderful pocketsl
Like stockings at Christmas are they;
But there's only one night for the stockings
And these-why, they're filed every day
And oh how the rosy cheeks dimple
With smiles that are loving and bright
As the dear old mans spied in the distance
And welcomed with shrieks Of delight.
For sets of the prettest dishes
On which to serve dinners delicious,
And cunning wee sofas and tables,
And books filled with jingles and fables,
And finger-rings, bracelets, and lockets
Have been found in these wonderful pockets,

boy.
SO his father took him off the ele.
phant, and opened the cage The ami
mails never stirred! Shall l tell you
whyP They had had good dinner,
with something to make them sleep,
and Hercules, The elephant, was look
ing at them so hard, that they were
afraid. Little Jerome had been kind,
and the two animals never moved nor
growled as he sat down; but he did not
touch them.
There he sat; the people cheered, and
cried: "Hurrah!" They threw money
into the cage. The elephant picked
some OF it up, and gave it to jerome,
who came out safely! In the evening
he went in again; the lionness and the
panther never moved a paw against
him, and so on for four times he went
in, and made great deal of money.
The wicked Maltait was very angry,
and said: 'EThe animals are stuffed, not
alive" So the people made him 90,
and pushed him in! The lionness never
moved! "Ah!" he said; ''you see its
all sham!"
But the panther knew him, 1t knew
it's cruel old masters voice; and as he
was going away it turned and sprang
on him! His legs were fearfully hurt,
and one had to be cut off. SO he was
punished well for his crNelty.
The little Jerome never went into the
cage again; and when he grew up had
quite forgotten all about his adventure
with the panther and the lionness.-
